A total of 13 new Priority Programmes were established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschft (DFG, German Research Foundation) Senate at its recent spring session in Bonn, Germany. These programmes leverage scientific expertise (both in Germany and further afield) in particularly current and emerging research fields.

Topics covered by the Priority Programmes range from historical port structures to interactions in bacterial cultures, the stability of glass, and regenerative fuels.

The DFG’s Priority Programmes normally run for six years. The approval of the 13 new Programmes means that the DFG will, from 2012 onwards, be funding a total of 94 Priority Programmes.

The new Priority Programmes (organised by scientific field) and their coordinators are:

Humanities and Social Sciences

Ports from the time of the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages

Coordinator: Professor Dr. Claus von Carnap-Bornheim, The Foundation of Schleswig-Holstein State Museums at Schloss Gottorf, the Schleswig-Holstein State Archaeological Museum
